Wow. Thank you for posting your thoughts. I, myself, found the LWW movie quite close to the book, though, as I think I've said earlier, part of what they did cut was due to lack of time. However, to parallel, I smiled at the moments when direct quotes were used from the LWW book, just as I smiled when allusions were made to the books in LOTR, particularly in FOTR:
Quote:
"Oh, a long expected party."
Quote:
"Riddles in the dark."
Quote:
"It's 'A shortcut to mushrooms!' "
I haven't read LWW and the other six books for some time, but I still smiled (and quoted the line out loud) when Tumnus is on the balcony with Queen Lucy as she watches him walk down the beach, and Tumnus (and I) said:
Quote:
"He's not a tame lion, you know...."
Gotta love those moments....
